Here's a look back at an article from 1993 that shows where Arrested Development was as a group at that time. Pretty cool to look back and see how things were with the crew back then. This is from the November 1993 issue of Ebony magazine. Here's a choice quote on the formation of the group:
Arrested Development was started in 1988 by Speech and Headliner (born Tim Barnwell), the band's self-described "turntable instrumentalist," while they were both students at Atlanta's Art Institute. As a rap duo, they performed boastful, profanity-filled, music in small clubs in Gainesville and Douglasville, Ga. After hearing Public Enemy's militant song, "Rebel Without a Pause," Speech and Headliner changed their musical focus and dropped the negative lyrics for more politically tinged songs.
Still hard to imagine Speech up there cussing and so forth! And yes, the picture above is Kobe Bryant getting out of a DeLorean.... It just occurred to me that this post is scheduled to go up the same day the Back to the Future series is released on Blu Ray. Don't have a Blu Ray player yet so I'll be sitting that out, but that was completely unintentional....
